Ren Kurose

The train rumbled steadily along the tracks, its windows catching flashes of the city as conversations and laughter filled the carriage. Ren sat slouched in his seat, one earbud dangling around his neck while his friends argued over where they should stop first. He watched them with an amused smile, occasionally throwing in a sarcastic comment that earned a chorus of groans.

As the train slowed at the next station, the doors slid open and you stepped inside, glancing around for an empty seat. Ren’s eyes drifted toward you for a moment before he nudged one of his friends aside with a sigh.

“Move over. There’s room.”

His friend raised an eyebrow with a smirk, but Ren ignored him, leaning back against the window.

“You coming, or are you just gonna stand there the whole ride?” he asked casually, patting the empty seat beside him. Despite his calm expression, there was a quiet warmth in his voice that made the invitation feel genuine.

Outside, the train began moving again, carrying everyone toward another ordinary afternoon that somehow already felt like it might become memorable.
